The 63rd annual Ceremonial Review and Inspection of the Navy League Corp of Yorkton was held Saturday.

The annual event, held at Dr. Brass School marked the culmination of fall, winter and spring training for the corps.

The members of the group paraded in front of Reviewing Officer Bob Maloney, Mayor of Yorkton, as well as other dignitaries.

Maloney told the volunteers assembled, “the work that is done on behalf of these young people is really critical,” adding it is the foundation they have on the way to become young adults.

It is a situation where the cadet corps is “building the type of individual that will build our community,” he said.

Navy League Provincial Division representative Don Landree also credited the parents and volunteers suggesting without their time and effort “we wouldn’t have the program we do here.”

The event also saw Dem’yan Kolesov promoted to Chief Petty Officer Second Class, which is the second highest rank in Navy League cadets.

-         Best Attendance Award – PO2 Brianna Heddon and AC Brandon Kaisowatum

-         Most Improved Award – LC Mary Ann Bitternose

-         General Proficiency Award PO2 Kaiden Dumais
